1.  Each applicant must be eligible for admission to the bar under the D.C. student practice rule.

2.  In addition to submitting the general clinic application online by March 27, 2012, applicants must fill out the Criminal Justice Clinic Supplementary Application and submit it to Teruko Scriven in room 130 by 5:00 p.m. on April 3, 2012.

3.  Those students who satisfy the above criteria form the pool for selection.  We will then select those students who have exceptional prior experience with criminal or poverty law practice, or some other experience that, in the judgment of the professors, will enhance the pedagogical experience of the class.  We expect that this will be no more than one-fourth of the slots in the clinic.  The remaining slots will be filled by lottery.
